About this test

Our Iron Deficiency Home Test Kit includes everything you’ll need assess your risk of anaemia anxieties in minutes. Measuring the level of ferritin in your blood, this handy test tells you whether your body’s iron reserves are running low.

Ferritin is a protein which stores iron in your blood and releases it to help with many of your bodily functions. This includes oxygen transport around the body, immune system resilience, and healthy brain function.

When your iron levels are low, your ferritin levels are also low.

Common symptoms of iron-deficiency anaemia include persistent unexplained fatigue, lightheadedness, cravings for non-food items (ice, chalk etc.), and recurring headaches.

With a simple two-line result cassette for your convenience, our test will quickly indicate if your ferritin levels are too low — your sign to seek medical advice about iron deficiency anaemia.

How to use this test

1
Prepare for the test
Bring the pouch with the test cassette inside to room temperature. Do not open it until you’ve washed your hands with soap and rinsed thoroughly with warm water.Now, proceed to open the pouch, removing the cassette.
2
Prepare the lancet
Remove the clear plastic cap from the lancet. The lancet is single-use, so be careful not to fire it early.For best results, you should use your middle finger for the sample. Clean your fingertip using the alcohol pad.
3
Collect the blood sample
From the side where the cap was, firmly press the lancet against your fingertip to draw blood. Massage the finger, keeping your hand down.Without squeezing the bulb, gently put the capillary dropper in contact with the edge of the blood drop. The blood should be drawn into the bulb automatically. Fill it up to the black line, avoiding air bubbles.
4
Transfer the blood sample
Squeezing the dropper bulb, transfer the blood you’ve collected into the well marked ‘S’ on the cassette.
Wait for the blood sample to be completely dispensed into the cassette.
5
Apply the solution & wait
After the blood sample is completely transferred, unscrew the cap of the buffer solution bottle. Add 1 drop of the solution into the ‘S’ well on the cassette.
You should leave the test to develop and wait for 5 minutes. Ensure you’ve waited exactly 5 minutes, as waiting longer may invalidate your results.
6
Read & interpret the results
If no line appears at ‘C’, even if there’s a line at ‘T’, you haven’t performed the test correctly. Please purchase another kit and repeat.
If two lines appear, the ferritin levels in your blood are normal, and you’re unlikely to be iron deficient.
If one line appears at ‘C’, the ferritin levels in your blood are too low. You may be iron deficient, so consult a doctor at your earliest convenience.
